Athens, 20-21/01/ Hellasgrid project overview OPIS Area: 2.1 “ eGovernment for the citizen” Category 3: “Pilot and innovative applications” Title: Design and development of pilot infrastructures and advanced Grid-enabled services – HellasGrid Budget:1,78 Million Euros Duration:26 months (start date 01/11/04)

Athens, 20-21/01/ Hellasgrid project summary “Hellasgrid aims at.. Developing a national Grid infrastructure Testing Grid technologies at a national and pan-European scale  Sharing computing, storage and other resources With the perspective of provisioning complete eGovernment services for the citizen Takes into account: The HG Task Force Strategy document Testing Grid technologies requires: Infrastructure:  Procurement of multiple computing-storage islands + virtual collaboration environment  Middleware deployment  Other studies – pilot implementations  Integration of other resources Applications to run on top including the new GSRT call Exploit GRNET network eScience Research and Academic community: Giving requirements, providing infrastructure for integration with HG, providing know- how, being users (All in one)

Athens, 20-21/01/ Hellasgrid project objective Hellasgrid objective is the creation of a reliable infrastructure on which technologically advanced distributed applications could run with emphasis on the exploitation of the citizens E.g. Distributed storage and data mining for eGov applications:  Tax, Insurance, Social security, Demographic, Recruitment enlistment  Civil protection (meteorological prediction of extreme weather conditions), geophysical surveillance (forests, fires, oceans, tsunami), earthquake prediction etc  Access, processing and mining information in distributed databases for Health (eHealth)

Athens, 20-21/01/ Project status Started: November 2004 End date: December 2006 Conditions for project approval Clusters CPU numbers/locations given Applications projects must be supported (Call 3.3) Grid use only Common access policies – safeguarded by GRNET Sites should provide proper telehousing conditions – Should sign SLAs
